McGinley famously holed the winning putt at the 2002 event has an unbeaten record at the biennial event after he was on the winning side in 2004, 2006, 2010 and 2012.
“I feel like there are 12 winners of the Golfer of the Month Award rather than me, but I’m delighted to accept this award on behalf of those 12 players who represented Europe so magnificently in The Ryder Cup at Gleneagles,” McGinley told the European Tour’s official website.
“I’m very honoured and humbled to have been their Ryder Cup captain.”
